Dying Hair For Awareness

time to watch

Friday evening we were still once same night market like last time with the difference that this time our volunteers we have not followed every step. This time they have confidence that we can be ourselves on the road, without passing us. (However, Heiko and Nici have actually run when Thuy-Ly and I would not have been.) Contrary to our expectations, it worked with the haggling is not particularly good and I've bought two tops to the equivalent of 14 Euro . On occasion, I put pictures inside of it and let you vote. In China, haggling was easier, I must say. Maybe it was because that our shop was a little elevated. In addition, we may in such Shops actually try on clothes, but then we were not allowed, although there were changing rooms and a customer was allowed to try on something! We have suggested that it might be because we are foreigners, but a volunteer said it would not be in it. However, the shopping spree has brought in return a few new insights and observations with you:

a shop called "Ecstasy"


A large Coke at McDonald's is quite large.


The breast pocket a T-shirt ... I hope you checked out the joke.

The next day we took a trip to Lugang, which translates to as much as deer-port means. An explanation of the Namenurprungs is that resemble the outline of the city a deer, but I have not been verified. In the Lonely Planet guide is that many deer herds had been romping in the area and offers the obvious bay a perfect, natural harbor. It was definitely a very funny trip. We arrived about 10:30 to clock in Lugang and went first into a "cake shop" where there are several sweets were, who were famous for Lugang. As our teacher had brought us so far things every day (banana, lychee, coffee, biscuits and milk tea) and we did the homework to find them candy and take pictures, we bought her different things. Then we visited the Nine Turns Lane, a small winding street. It was designed to mitigate the strong northwesterly winds in September. At the end of the alley there was a bank with a replica of ancient Chinese wine jars and created the following photo:

Then we went to the mansion thing, where it was apparently at the house of a scholar. It then went into the Folks Arts Museum that once belonged to a very wealthy merchant family and now find several old furniture and artifacts are on display. Then we went to the Longshan Temple, the first Buddhist temple in Taiwan. There have Thuy-Ly and I "interviewed our destiny." This one had to ask only praying for Buddha, while saying his name and place of origin, ask the question and ask for an answer. Then you had two banana-shaped pieces of wood on the Ground chuck, landed at least one rounded on the side, you had to choose a wooden stick with a number and submit again the wooden parts to see if it was the right one. A piece of wood on the rounded side meant "yes." Only then could we take from the little drawer with the same number of the top sheet. I really do not know what the label says to me, because the volunteers had trouble translating.

We then visited the famous Moru Lane, in the English Breast Touching Lane, we translated Breast-Grabsch Street. It was a very very narrow, 70cm wide alley. It was named in that a dishonest man if he would meet a girl there, and both together would push over, could take the opportunity to grope her breasts. We took the name literally as an opportunity for the following images:

After that we went through the old market streets, where you could buy all sorts of souvenirs and antiques . It was all laid out very touristy. In these streets we found the so-called half well. As I said, these are half a fountain on a wall. One half was for the residents of the house and the other half of the residents had made available to the public, that even less well-heeled People enjoy the fountain came from.

Finally it was lunch at a restaurant on the Mazu Temple, which is indeed a place of interest, which we for reasons of time and the meal have not seen more sake. Well, it is somewhat unfortunate, but fortunately Nici has made pictures of it because it has waived the food. Finally we went back by bus to Taichung. Since we all were walking around in spite of the total energy still, we all wanted to go to bed yet, so we are already at half past eight to karaoke again taken have. It was very funny, especially by the fact that all have screamed as soon as a "great" song came. The Taiwanesinnen were all apparently blown away by Avril Lavigne, which I attribute, however, that in this karaoke bar not many other Western singers were represented ... It was funny especially when songs were Chinese, which we also knew German, because we had already discussed in class. Songs like "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" by the Backstreet Boys came, but they were with a few beers to bear it.

was after four hours at half past one end. However, some of us Germans had been there all right, so it was hard to get her to go home. Before the boy home, there were still some problems in that Chris was the only girl still wanted to drink with the boys and the others had not thought about how they then again throughout the campus alone is to get back home . Andi she would sneak into the boy's dorm and to this end on a piece of the wall climbing, where no barbed wire fence was in order hochzuhieven there. To test, I was raised. When the guard threatened to come, Andi jumped down again and wanted to catch me, but out of sheer panic I myself am bound and have a crush their cans of beer and I torn open the fingertip.

My wound

Not great, but it still hurt like hell and yes, I am a coward. The next morning after we slept until half past three divine and chill, I have the dirty wound with saline, washed and disinfected with iodine, Silke has inherited from the Hospital. The arms had in fact an inflamed Zeh, who had to be hospitalized. Now she is still through all the pain pills in addition to the cap and a little bit apathetic. Nici and I wanted then to the pool, but that was unfortunately not because we have to apply first user cards, which can, however, apply only on weekdays. So instead we went to eat something. It had been a kind of buffet where I starved myself completely (no breakfast or lunch) tons charged on meat.

breakfast, lunch and dinner in one! And it also looks ...

Overall, it has cost the equivalent of 3 euros! So expensive I have never eaten before! So much on a normal day not spent on food! And it has not even tasted so good. The rest of the day I have rotten pig instead of homework only spent watching One Piece: D
